Abstract

Morphologically different thalli of Laboulbenia richardiana sp. nov. (Laboulbeniales, Ascomycota) were found on various parts of the body of the South American fly Richardia teevani. These thalli lack a separate cell IV and have similar appendages and perithecial apices. They are interpreted here as ‘growth forms’ of a single biological species. Spore characteristics and insect behavior support this view, rather than the hypothesis of several different species displaying position specificity.
